Istanbul Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: -

SÖZÜ GEÇER (3) appeals most at 2200m with a recent 2nd over 2100m and a prior win and 3rd at this trip here, suggesting consistent staying form. ERSANŞAH (1) is a major threat given strong Istanbul stats and back‑to‑back 3rds at 2000m, and the rise to 2200m looks within reach. ALMUTANABIY (4) has knockout claims stepping back up in trip after a 2400m win last month, and a kinder draw should help him hold a position. TARLABAŞI (9) is progressive from an inside gate after a solid 3rd over 2000m and can run into the finish. Leaning to SÖZÜ GEÇER (3) to outstay them late. Something for the Multiples: TORHAN TAY (8) SÖZÜ GEÇER (3) SURERTAY (5)

Comments

Placed in 2 of last 3 and comes off a 3rd of 8 over 2000m at Istanbul on 8 Nov on GOOD3. Drawn in a similar alley to where he has done well, with a from-similar-barriers record of (16:1-7-2). With M.T. Coşkun up and the step to 2200m, the profile is consistent enough to be competitive.

Comments

Second up and back to 2200m at Istanbul, the trip of his 4th of 11 here on 1 May on GOOD3. Comes in 3kg lighter than last start and stays on a good surface. With E. Akpinar booked, this set-up looks more suitable than the 1500m return.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes here off a strong Istanbul second over 2100m on GOOD on 4 Nov. Earlier won over this 2200m at Istanbul on 23 Oct on SOFT, so the trip holds no fears. With U. Levent booked, the recent Istanbul figures read well for this set-up.

Comments

Draws a much better barrier, moving from 13 to 4, and stretches back to 2200m where his record reads (3:0-1-1). Latest run was 6th of 15 over 1500m here on GOOD, and prior Istanbul 2200m run came on GOOD as well. With the kinder gate and a return to his preferred trip, Almutanabiy has grounds to improve.

Drops 2kg and draws better, moving from barrier 7 to 3 since the last run. Last start was 3rd of 9 over 1800m at Bursa on GOOD, which reads solid for this longer trip. With the improved gate and lighter weight, Surertay gets a more favourable set-up to be competitive.

Draws a handier gate with barrier 6 after jumping from 9 last start. Latest run was 10th of 15 over 1400m at Istanbul on 6 Nov on GOOD going, and stretches to 2200m here. With Ç. Taşci aboard for B. Çapkin, a softer map from the draw can help settle into the race. Respect if the extra trip suits.

Second up and drawn better, shifting from barrier 6 to 2. Proven at the trip and venue with a strong (6:2-3-1) record at this track and distance. Latest run was 5th of 10 over 2100m at Istanbul on 4 Nov on GOOD and can strip fitter. With G. Özçelik up, Niğbolu has the right profile to be competitive at 2200m.

First up after around 14 months, with a 3.5kg drop to 55.5kg since last start. Placed in 3 of last 5 and boasts a solid Istanbul record (47:6-13-13). Last seen 19 Sep 2025 at Istanbul over 1500m on good going, finishing 3rd of 6. Torhan Tay has enough local credentials and a lighter impost to give a competitive account over 2200m.

Comments

Draws to advantage moving from barrier 4 to 1. Last time at Istanbul over 2000m on GOOD ground he finished 3rd of 16, so the step to 2200m is a natural progression around the same track and surface. S. Akbulat sticks, and the low draw should give him every chance to hold a handy spot. Solid claims off that recent placing.

Expected Settling Position: No speed data
